Nutritional Benefits
GM foods are being developed to have enhanced nutritional content to benefit your health. In development are foods that have genes modified to produce a higher protein content. Other development focuses on enhancing the fatty acid profile so that crops produce higher levels of polyunsaturated fats, which play a role in protecting against heart disease. Biotech companies are also developing crops that have higher vitamins and minerals, as well as enhanced antioxidant content, which may help prevent chronic diseases.

Benefits to Humans
In places where food is scarce or difficult to grow, plants and animals can be modified to provide more nutrients and grow better under harsh conditions. Plants are more drought-resistant and easier to grow. Many plants are designed to use less pesticides and chemicals to grow, which means less exposure to these potentially toxic substances for farmers and consumers.

Benefits to the Environment
Many GMOs are tailored for specific environmental conditions, which means saving water in drought-prone areas and less use of chemicals. Higher yields and more efficient growth mean that the same amount of food is produced on less land, using fewer natural resources.

With the advancement of GMOs, I feel that it would help with the world hunger issue. If crops are modified to be able to grow in barren environments or in very rainy conditions this would help a lot of people. If there was more of the crop per year, they would  be able to be preserved for longer periods of time. I feel the GMOs are a great scientific advancement in the fact that kids that aren’t getting enough to eat could have rice that has the fortified vitamins that they need for health. There could be more vitamins and nutrients in one piece of fruit, rather than having to buy multiple fruits to get the same amount. I am excited to see what the future holds for these genetically modified crops.

2013: Why we will need Genetically Modified Foods.

# data[].attributes.body
The promise that genetically modified crops could help feed the world is at least as old as the commercialization of the first transgenic seeds in the mid-1990s. The corporations that helped turn genetically engineered crops into a multibillion-dollar business, including the large chemical companies Monsanto, Bayer, and DuPont, promoted the technology as part of a life science revolution that would greatly increase food production. So far it’s turned out, for a number of reasons, to have been a somewhat empty promise.

GMOs, Organic Food, and Public Opinion: New Survey Results

# data[].attributes.body
New survey results from the Pew Research Center show that Americans believe organic food is healthier than non-organic, opinions are split about genetically modified food, and people’s opinions about food reflect their ideas about health.

Highlights include:

55% of adults surveyed believe organic produce is healthier than conventional, while 41% say there is no difference. 40% claim most of their food is organic.

Nearly half of U.S. adults believe genetically modified food is neither better nor worse health-wise than non-GM foods.

More than 7 out of 10 say healthy eating is very important for a long and healthy life.

Over one-third of Americans don’t believe that scientists understand the health effects of GM foods very well.

60% say scientists should have a major role in policy issues related to GM foods.

New plant breeding techniques (NPBTs) focus on developing new seed traits within a given species through genetic engineering. For the agri-food industry, the plants resulting from these new breeding techniques should not be considered genetically modified because no foreign DNA is present in their genes.

To opponents, they are just another attempt at selling GMOs to Europeans through the back door.

Now the case is in the hands of the EU Court of Justice, which will decide whether a specific technique called “mutagenesis” should come under the GM legislation or not.

Whether you’re pro- or anti-GMO foods, it seems only reasonable that the public should know whether genetically modified organisms are a component of our chips, breakfast cereals, salad fixings, and cans of chicken noodle soup. Unfortunately not everybody agrees.

The federally approved warning label can consist of a QR (Quick Response) code, accessible by smartphone, or an 800 number that customers can call for information.

Food prices would rise, as the expense of GMO labeling was passed on to consumers.

Of course we should know what’s in our food. It’s important to have a clear and comprehensible GMO labeling law.
But it won’t do us much good if we don’t know what that label really means

I didn’t find any evidence to support the statement that “most developed countries do not consider GMOs to be safe”. I only looked into four countries for this article, yet three of them fall within the category of nations where there are severe restrictions on the cultivation of transgenic crops. Venezuela, Iran, Israel, And Canada. These four countries are extremely diverse in terms of economic status and development.

The manufacture of GMO's is a controversial subject. Warnings of “Frankenstein foods” and “messing with nature” clash with arguments that GMO is the solution to ending world hunger.
The organic food industry also continues to grow. It may be that a fear of GMO is helping to spur the rise.
GM products= source of profit for the biotech industry
No clear association between the consumption of GM foods and poor health among humans, but not proven to be the answer to world hunger either.
